LRIAL ; OF A JOURNALIST.
Horace Greeley's Account of His Vcsvepa
per Struggles- Kst&blishincnt of Ike Kew
York Tribune-Iiis ?pit.ioii of Itcymou?'s
Ability-How Success was Achieved.
In his "Rocolkctions of a Busy Lire, ' Mr. Gree?
ley gives it very interesting account of his early
struggles a3 a journalist. Alter a sketch of the
career of several short-lived political sheets with
which he was connected ns editor r.r publisher, be
proceeds to tell us
now THE TRIHI NI: ?? AS ESTABLISHED.
On the 10th day of April, 1811- a day of moat
unseasonable chill, and sleet, and snow-1 issued
the first number ol' the New ?ork Tribune, lt was
a small sheet, for it W.IH to be retailed for a cent,
and not much ol a newspaper could bo afforded
for that price, oven in those spoeie-paying times.
1 had boen incited to tins enterprise by several
Whig friends, who deemed a cheap daily, address?
ed more especially to tho laboring class, eminently
needed in our city, whore thc only two cheap jour
nals then and still existing-The Sun and Thc
Herald-were in decided, though unavowed, anl
therefore moro effective, sympathy and affiliation
with the Democratic party. Two or three had
promised pecuniary a:d if it should bo needed;
only one cv?r made good that promise, by loaning
mo*$1000, which was duly and gratefully repaid,
principal and interest.
HU VIEWS ABOUT JOCBNALISM.
My leading idea was the establishment of a
journal removed alike lrora servile partisanship sn
the one band, and from gagged, mincing neutrali?
ty on the other. Parry spirit is so berco and in
tolerent in this country thu*, tho editor of a non?
partisan sheet is restrained from saying what he
thinks and feels on the most vital, imminent top?
ics; while, on tin other hand, a Democratic, Whig
cr Republican journal is generally oxpeited to
praise cr blame, like or dislike, eulogize or con?
demn, in precise accordance with tho views and
interest cf its party. I believed there was a happy
medium between these extremes-a pos.iioa from
which a Journalist might openly and heartily r.d
vocatc thc principles and comm nd thc measures
of that party to whicii bia convictions allied him,
yet disse.it frankly i.om its course on a particular
question, and even denounce its candidates if they
were shown to bo deficient in capacity cr (far
worse) in integrity, I felt that a journal thus
loyal to its guiding convictions, yot ready to ex?
pose and condemn unworthy conduct or incidental
error on the part of men attaoned to its party,
munt bc far more effective, even paity-wise, than
though it might always be counted on to applaud
or reprobate, bless or carse, r.s the party's preju?
dices or immediate interest might seem to pre?
scribe. Especially bv tuc Whigs-who were rather
the loosely aggregated, mainly undisciplined oppo?
nent- of a" grout part?. than, in the stricter sense-,
a paiw ihemseives-d d I feel that such ajournai
was consciously uccded, and should be fairly sus
tamed.
SLENDER CAPITAL.
1 bad been ten years in Now York was thirtv
years old, in lull health and vigor, and worth, 1
presume, about $2000. half of it in printing
materials, ihe Jeffersonian, and still more the
Log Cabin, bail made me favorably known to many
thousands of those who were most likely to take
such a paper as I proposed to make the Tribune;
while the Kew-Yorker bad given me ?orne literary
standing and thc reputation ol a useful and well
informed compiler ol election returns. In >liort, I
w.iR in a bettor pj.-ition to undertake the ostab
lishmont of a daily newspaper than the great mass
of those who try ii and tail, us most v. ho make the
venture do ana* must. I presume- thu new jour?
nals (in English) since startca iii this city number
no', less than one hundred, whereof barely two
the Times and the World-can be fairly said to be
still living: nt.a the World is a mausoleum wherein
the remains o' thc Evening Star, tho American,
aud the Courier and Enquirer, bc mumed; these
having lor g u;: > swallowed sundry of their prede?
cessors, iel several of tiioic which have mean?
time lived their little hour and passed away, wero
conducted by men <-\ decided ability and ripe ex?
perience, and were backed by a pecuniary capital
at least twenty times greater than the fearfully
inadequate sum whereon 1 started th: Tribune.
WHAT HE TUINES OF RAYMOND.
On the intellectual Bide, my venture was not so
lash as it seamed. My own fifteen years' dovotio u
to newspaper-making, iu all its phases, was worth
tar more than will be generally supposed; and I
had already (secured a first assistant tu Mr. fienrr
J. Raymond, who-baring f ir I wo yearn, while- in I
eollegc :it Burlington, Vt., been u valued eonlribu- .
tor to tho literary aide of I'bo 'Tew Yorker-had jj
hied to tho eily directly upon graduating, late in I
1910, and gladly accepted my offer to biro him at J
53 per week until he could do better. I had not J
much for him to do till the Tribuno was started;
then I had enough; and 1 never found another
pei?on, barely ot apo and just from II?H studlea,
who evinced so much and BO versatile ability in
journalism as ho did. Abler aud stronger men I
mnv hove met, a clover, reviler, inert' generally of
Qcient journalist. I never saw. Ho remained with
me eight years, if my memory serves, and is the
only assistant with whom I cv..-: f lt required ta
renionstrato Cor doing more work tlian any hu?
man brain ami frame could lie expected long to
endure. His salary was of course gradually in?
creased from timo to time; but his ftorvioos were
more valuable in proportion to thr-ir cost than
those of any one else who ever woricod on the
Tribune.
TUi: ENTERPRISE LAUNCHED.
About rive hundred nantes of subscribers liad
already beeen obtained for the "Tribune" before
its tirst issue, wjercof I printed 5,(J0d, and nearly
succeeded in giving away all of them that won'd
not sell. I had type, but no presses ; and so had
to biro my press-work dow; hythe "token;" my
folding and mailing must bare staggered mc but
for ibo circumstance that I had few papers to
mail and not very many to fold. Tho hick of tho
present machinery of Railroads and Expresses was
i grave obstacle't > (ho circulation of my paper
outside of thc city's suburbs ; but I think its paid
for issues wore 2,000 at the close of t .:c first week,
and that thev increased pretty steadily, at tho rato
of 500 per week, tili they reached 10.000. My cur?
rent expenses for tho first week were about $525 ;
my receipts ?'J2 ; and, though the outgoes steadily,
inevitably increased, the income increased in a
still larger ratio, till it nearlv balanced tho former.
But I was not mado fora publisher; indeed.no
mau was over qualifiod at once to edit and to pub?
lish a daily paper such aa it must be to live in
these times ; and it was not until Mr. Thomas Mc
Elrath- whom I had baroly known as a member of
tho publishing firm over whose atore f first set
type iu this city, but who was no?v a lawyer in
pood standing and practice -made mc a voluntary
and wholly unexpected proffer of partnership iii
my still struggling but hoteful enterprise, that it
might be considered fairly on its feet.
A PARfNE'aSBTP.
Ho offered to invest $2000 as an equivalent lo
whatever I bad in thc business, and to devoto his
time and energies to ita management, on the basis
of perfect equuUty in ownership and in sharing tho
proceeds. This ? very gladly accepted ; and from
that hour my load was palpably lightened. During
the ten years or over thal. The Tribune was issued
by Greeley & McLlrath, my partner never once
even indicated that my ant:-Slavery, anti-Hang up.
Socialist, and other frequent aberrations from flic
straipht and narrow path of Whip partisanship,
were injurious to our common interest, though he
must orien have sorclv felt tint they were f.o ; and
never, except when I (raroly) drew from tho com?
mon treasury more morey than could well be
spared, in order to help some needy friend whom
he judged beyond help, did he even look grieved at
anything I did. On tin o ber hand, his business
management of tho concern, though never brilliant
nor specially energetic, wt.ssosafe aud judicious
that it gave mc no trouble, and scarcely required
of mc a thought dui'.''ir; thar long era of ali but
unclouded ptospcritv. The transition from
my four preccdina years of incessant pecu?
niary anxiety, if rot absoluto emba i la?
ment, was like crouping from the dung 'on
and thc rack to freedom and sympathy.
UIS LOSSES D? LNDOSSINO.
Henceforth, ?sucii rare pecuniar} trouble*asl
encountered wore the jual penalties i ; m\ i rn
folly in endorsing notes for persons who, in the
nature of t'iings, could not rationally be exp
to pav them. But these penalties arc not to ba
evaded bj* those who, toon after ontering respon?
sible lifo, " go into business," an tho phrase ls;
when it is inevitable that they mus: thereby b i in?
volved in debt. Ha who starts on the basis of d -
pendence on his own proper resourcoa, resolved to
extend his business no fur!..or and no (aster I ..an
his means will justify, may fairly refuse to I vd
what he no:ds in his own operations,or to <"iiJ ?rae
for others when he asks no ono to cul! .i so for bim.
Eut you cannot ask favors, and then charl shiy re?
fuse to grant any-borrow, and then frown upon
whoever asks you to lend-seek endorsements, but
dec?no to givo an> ; Pud so the idle, the prodigal,
tho dissolute, with tho tboa-aads fore-doomed by
their own defects of capacity, of industry, or of
management, to chronic bankruptcy, live upon tho
ont nings of tho capable, thrifty, and provident.
Better wait five- years to go into business upon ad?
equate mentis '. hieh are properly your own, tina
to rush in prematurely, trusting to ?ca is, cn loi\?e
ments, and Ibo iori jaranee of creditors, '. > help

have saved most of il if I ?md never, .. ed'ng

Tho Tribune, an it first appeared, was but the
serin ol what 1 Bought to make it. Kn journal
sold tor rt cent could over bc much, mor ? than c
dry summary of tho most important or thc mest
interesting occurrences of thu day; andsu;li ii
not a no..bpiper, in the higher scr?-e of t!:c tenn.
We need to know not o;:!y what ir, dono, but wh t
ls purposed and eaid, by those who sway tl?c des?
tinies of States and realms: and, to this e.;d, the
prompt perusal of Ou; manifestoes oi monarchs,
presidents, ministers, legislators, eic, is indis?
pensable. No mau io oven tolerably informed in
our day who docs uot regularly "keep the run"of
events and opinions, through the daily pcrua?l of
at least one good jo:.mal; atid tho ready cavil that
"no one can read" ail that a great medern journal
contains only proves the ignorance or thoughtless?
ness ot thc oaviiicr. No ono person is expected to
take such an interest m tho nea a:.d fall o't stocks,
Ibo markets for cotton, cattle, grain, and goods,
the proceedings ot Congress, legislatures, and
courts, the pohtias ol' Europo, amt tho over-shift?
ing phases ot Spanish-American anarchy, e.;., etc.,
as won!.! incite him to a daily perusal of tho en?
tire contents of a metropolitan city jonrn il of the
tirst rank. Thc idea is rather to embody in a
bingie sheet tko information daily required* by all
tiloso who aim to keep "posted" on ali important
occurrences; so thr.t thc 1 iwyer, thc merchant, thc
banker, thc forwarder, thc economist, the author,
thc politician, etc., msy find hero whatever be
nccda to sec, and be sp..red thc trouble of looking
elsewhere A copy ot a great morning jouni 11 now
contains moro matter than au average Limo
volume, audits production costs far more, while
it is sold for a fortieth or fiftieth part of the
volume's pnce. There i- no other miracle of
cheapness i:i comparison with its cost whioh at all
approaches it
ENORMOUS OCTLAT BEQEIftED.
The Clccthc Telegraph bas precluded the multi
plication of journals in the great cilica, by enor?
mously increasing tho coi', of publishing each of
them." Ibo Tribune, for example, now pava moro
tuan $100,000 per annum for intellectual labor (re?
porting included) in and about ita of?ce, and
elOO.OuO more for correspondence and telegraph?
ing-in other words, for collecting and transmit?
ting news. And, wink its income lias been largely
increased lroiu year to year, its expenses havo in?
evitably been swelled oven moro rapidly; Ao that,
at the close of 1866, in which ks receipts had bcoti
over $000,000, ita expenses had been very nearly
equal in nmoutit, leaving no profit beyond a fah?
ren* for the premises it owned and occupied. And
yet its stockholders were satisfied that they had
done a gool business-that the increase iii the
patrouago and value of thc establishment amount?
ed to a fair inlcr,.c'. on their investment, and
might well bo accepted in lieu of a dividend. Ic
the good time coming, with cheaper prpor and
less exorbitant charges i"r "cabiedispa^.iiej 'from
the Old World, they will doubtless reap whore
they have now faithfully sowu. Yet they roa'i^:
